Uncoordinated Dual Degree from Wharton with Computer Science?

I am a prospective UPenn applicant who is wondering if there is anyone who knows of students who got accepted into Wharton and pursued an uncoordinated dual degree with the SEAS, particularly in a major like Computer Science or similar.

I want to do ED at Wharton, but for the longest time have realized the importance of CS to my life; I do not want to throw that away and am wondering how difficult it would be to pursue both majors if I did not get into the M&T program (which, considering the acceptance rate, is very likely).

Edit: also would like to mention that I am not against being at the school for an extra year.

bump?

To pursue both majors, you’d need to do an extra year (just an FYI that you cannot get financial aid for a 5th year), and you’ll need to take a minimum of 5 classes per semester. It’s doable, but by no means easy.

My d is about to start Wharton and com sci minor not an issue in 4 years. She applied for M & T applied ED) but was offered her first choice Wharton (ED) . Guidence very positive that com sci not an issue for her.

Good luck.

If you are only admitted into Wharton, I would suggest looking to transferring into M&T after your first year. As long as you finish with a decent GPA and take classes that help towards M&T (like CS), you have a decent shot and I think that’s better than an uncoordinated dual degree. 30 years ago, if you applied for M&T there was no Wharton or SEAS backup. So I applied into Wharton (only) and then transferred into M&T and graduated with BSE in Finance and CS in 4 years (but yeah, it’s not easy).
